[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 533079, member: 3493"] My dyslexic son has a scribe for his math tests written into his IEP. Since we added that, he is more willing to show his work. We've also used the graph paper method for him - there are web sites where you can make your own paper. Have you considered that he CAN'T show his work? My oldest son and I can look at a math problem like an algebraic equation and say "x = 7 or whatever," but we have to work backwards to solve the problems because we don't know how we got there. It just comes to us, like a psychic, lol1 on the other hand, difficult child, who just took the AP CalcBC exam, CAN work the problems forward and that's why he can do higher level math. I am not an idiot in math, either: I went to Bronx HS of Science but I can't do what difficult child can. If your son can guess or intuit the right answer, teach him to work backwards. The teacher will never know as long he gives it to her in the right format. Also, my dyslexic child had trouble with algebra until he learned 2 extra steps that weren't taught but which he needed. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
